Abstract	The reflections of female Muslim American youth provides a glimpse into their lived reality as they navigate their hyphenated identities in spaces that systemically other (Sirin & Fine, 2008). The creative piece shared here is a silhouette of a woman featuring statements signifying that very experience. Noor Ali conducted a narrative inquiry into the lives of Muslim American women. The conversations accumulated hours' worth of data and anecdotal evidence with 15 participants ranging between the ages of 18 and 22 sharing deeply resonating stories of being. This paper seeks to highlight the phrases and statements made by female Muslim American youth as they speak of their lives. The paper situates that conversation in the theory and practice of Critical Race Theory, using it as a framework but also as a methodology. Furthermore, the paper invites readers to explore the author's work on the creation of a micro-theoretical framework that is particular to this demographic and honors them as a distinct reality.
